Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I had to laugh at Richard Grenell dressing down the reporter at today’s press briefing ostensibly held to discuss the Serbian Kosovo discussions and each establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. Mr. Grenell, I remember what was happening over there more than two decades ago and I agree with you that this is a big deal. A bigger deal than sadly many understand.

I was disturbed by a conversation between someone my age and youngsters who are the product of my states public school education and one a graduate of my local state university. In the conversation the college graduate kept repeating the typical left leaning talking points. Asking myself where they learned this as I know they did not learn these points growing up I can only surmise that it came from the schools they have attended. Taking this a step further I can see, first had, that something needs to be done to our institutions of learning.

Watching Fox last I was struck my Tucker Carlson pointing out the groups who have been endorsed by members of Congress and several in Hollywood. I have to wonder if there are legal repercussions that can be brought to bear on these left wing hate groups? Specifically, can the businesses who have been destroyed as a result of the violence fomented by these groups bring suit for civil penalties against these groups? Additionally, could criminal charges be brought against some of these groups and their donors for the violence fomented and what to me are seditious actions?

I never have really liked the articles that have started reading in The Atlantic in the past. Now I guess I will never try reading another article in the rag. I cannot believe the article saying President Trump said disparaging things about veterans was vetted by the DNC. Hmmm, do you think this may have been a side swiping politically motivated article? To me what The Atlantic reported something more like what Hillary Clinton or Perhaps Mrs. Pelosi might say. Hair? Give me a break.

Mr. President! Do you feel as if you are being stalked or perhaps have someone following you? Someone who seems to want to suddenly say the same things that you say and visit the same places that you visit? I think perhaps you do have someone doing this to you, however, you will not be able to send the Secret Service to investigate this person. I do not suppose it would be fitting considering this person, Joe Bidden, has his own Secret Service detail guarding him. I find it interesting, after listening to the speech he gave on Monday, that the speech ended sounding eerily like the speeches at the Republican National Convention last week. He even said God Bless America at the end. Not only that he decided to visit Kenosha today just days after your visit. Something sinister is afoot here. I do think, Mr. President, that you truly are being followed. Please do not let your guard down because that person, I am quite confident, can and will catch you if given half a chance.

Shocking!!! The city of Seattle has finally decided to clean out the park at the center of their own version of Marxistan and what do they find? Weapons, spike strips, and all sorts of other equipment used for rioting. All the while people are questioning in a yelling manner who is going to look out for the homeless? This because the professional rioters are claiming to protect the homeless. Well, memo to protesters, the police are finally being allowed to protect taxpayers!

Mrs. Pelosi I know you are vain and it comes as no surprise that you have been able to keep your hair colored and cut and maybe even get a nip a tuck though I am not sure of the later during the so called pandemic shutdowns. I rolled my eyes because I figured you probably had someone coming to your home and you know I cannot afford something like that but I know you can so I though to myself, “so what”. Now, however, I see that you have been sneaking into a shut down hair salon the whole time! A hair salon that has been forced to be shutdown and the owner maybe going out of business! Then you have the gall to claim that you were set up!?!? Maybe you were set up and you know what? You should have been set up and I am glad the store owner leaked the security tape. Oh, and though I live in a state that allows salons to open we have to wear masks and there are plexiglass windows and the governor of my state even has his gestapo (state OSHA officials) running around checking on businesses to ensure they are in compliance. If not, the salon is fined $5,000 the stylist $3,000 and the customer $2,000. So, needless to say when getting hair washed, everyone must wear a mask! Mrs. Pelosi, you are nothing but a hypocrite and cheap thug. What happened, did you just forget to read the fine print and just thought to yourself that you would figure it out? Now your minions are threatening, insulting, and bullying the salon owner! Apparently, the abuse of power is routine for you because it seems to be someone else’s fault and not yours.

I say take Tik Tok down and I am glad to see the restrictions being put on Chinese diplomats. What I find insidious is how the CCP is using the youth of America to insinuate their intelligence apparatus on and into American culture. I listen to my kids and they are upset that President Trump is going after Tik Tok which is one of my kid’s favorite apps. Honestly, I am breathing a bit easier knowing the President is going after Tik Tok and has restricted the diplomat’s freedom of movement.

I had a thought the other day after listening to some news report somewhere or perhaps it was after listening to or reading several news stories. Particularly this thought went to voting and all the hoopla surrounding mail in and etc. I for one am against all mail in voting except for absentee. In fact, I have voted absentee while on duty in the military and was grateful for this opportunity. But what strikes me is this push to make voting convenient. First it was early voting and now it is mail in voting and a push to provide time off and etc. I am ok taking a day off to allow voting but mail in voting I do not think so. Anyway, the thought that came to me is, “Voting is a right and responsibility and it is not supposed to be a convenience!”

I keep seeing the image of Senator Paul holding up the police officer who had been assaulted by the mob that had surrounded the Senator and the police escorting the Senator and his wife back to their hotel. This was not a peaceful protest nor a peaceful situation and nothing bad would have come from it had the police not been there. I find it frightening that these protests have gotten to the point that they have gotten. Furthermore, what bothers me are the thoughts that I am starting to have with regards to making myself prepared to defend myself and my love ones. Preparations that I never would have imagined that I would have to make in the United States when I was serving in Afghanistan. I ask why has this lawlessness been allowed to deteriorate the point that it has? It is also plain to see the ignorance of those who surrounded the Senator regarding his legislative agenda in general. Or was it truly not ignorance on the organizers of the riotous behavior but something more sinister at its roots?

Oh, and memo to LeBron James and your fellow NBA players since you have chosen to boycott the NBA for a couple of games? Well I am going to boycott the NBA for at least a season or two. Screw you and imaginary horse you rode in on! I will not support a Marxist sympathizer nor a Marxist sympathizing organization. I know there are racial injustices and I have witnessed it, but Marxism is not the answer and I will fight it. Get an education before you spout uneducated diatribes that bite the hand that feeds you. Or better yet, move to China since you seem to like the CCP better than the United States. Go ahead and renounce your citizenship and get the f*&k out of my country!!!

Mr. Silver, you and rest of the professional sports organization better wake up and wake up quick. You have lost me and others who have been lifelong sports fans for the first time ever are doubting whether they will continue being fans. Quite catering to the lowest denominator. Educate about the evils of racism yes but supporting Marxist organizations and movements is going to cost you if it is not already costing you.

Tim Cook, same to you. The status quo is probably not the best but Marxism is a dark dark road and if you think you will be immune good luck. I am sure there were some powerful businessmen in France, Russia, China, Vietnam, and Venezuela who thought they were immune too. That is unless they voluntarily took their knee to whatever dictator it was that rose to the top of the anarchy, chaos, and brutality.

So, Riot Kitchen members were arrested with gasoline filled fuel cans, helmets, gas masks, protective vests, illegal fireworks, attempted escape and are members of an Antifa linked terrorist organization? Let’s see a group from Seattle in Michigan, with instruments of violence, resisting search? Hmmm, I am sure there is a federal statue somewhere that can put these bad actors out of service for a while.

I was impressed and glad to see no Hollywood speakers during the RNC this past week. It may explain why I watched the whole convention after the first night. Oh, and that firework display was amazing! I wanted to be there and watch it firsthand and it reminded me how the Democratic Governor of my state put such a wet blanket on all the Fourth of July celebrations in my state. I will definitely not forget. I love, amongst many other one liners from President Trump’s speech, “The Biden agenda is made in China, mine is made in America.”

Oh yes and where is Kamala Harris denouncing the killing of Patrick Underwood in her hometown of Oakland, California? It disgusts me.

The Purge, great ad.

I read the three men shot by Kyle Rittenhouse were each a felon! He was using a weapon loaned to him by a friend who lives in Kenosha after helping his friend clean up graffiti all day and, additionally, he and his friend were asked by the owner of the auto shop to help in its defense. Again, it is good to let the facts come out before rushing to judgement regardless if waiting fits one’s narrative or not.

I watched the entire RNC telecast last night again. I have to admit that I found myself, again, amazed with some of the speakers and what they had to say. Clarence Henderson, Jack Brewer and Burgess Owens blew me away and they are true leaders.

I read today that Notre Dame is “distancing” themselves from Lou Holts. Dan Crenshaw has quite a story and a true hero and Governor Noem has steel in her veins. I would certainly consider moving to South Dakota but at some point, we conservatives need to quit running and stand up for what we believe in. I am not running but will the do the best I can in my state.

Chen Guangcheng knows firsthand what a country in the Marxists will do to its citizens. I have a friend who escaped communist Czechoslovakia decades ago and has since become a US Citizen. It is brutal but his take is that “Commies cannot be negotiated with they need to be killed”. When he told me that I was shocked because when I looked into his eyes he was serious but like Mr. Guangcheng he has lived under the jack boot of a Marxist Leninist Communist regime. Based on the riots, the Seattle Marxist Land and etc. I think we can only imagine that it will be the same in the US should they gain power.

Something else I noticed is that each night President Trump has either been live or with people. He has not been holed up in his office sending virtual messages.

So, Nancy Pelosi is floating that she would not recommend Joe Bidden meet President Trump for a debate or debates. And here we go.

The Republican Party truly seemed energized. It sure is nice to see the country club elite put on ice so to speak. I guess it took someone who owns country clubs to take care of them.

Something that keeps niggling me is the riots and Marxists who back them are getting money from somewhere. The groups are just too organized with communication devices, helmets, all black clothes, ability to move rioters from city to city, and other clues. Could there be a RICO case here?

I watched the entire RNC telecast last night which, I admit, is the first live coverage of any convention I have watched since watching my first which was with my Grandparents in 1976. This was the convention that Ronald Regan lost to Gerald Ford and we all know how the election turned out in November of 1976. Something ironic about that is my grandparents were die hard democrats and had nothing good to say about “The Actor”.

First off, I enjoyed watching and listening to the five people take the Oath of Citizenship. I have to be honest that I have never listened nor read this oath before and I was humbled. To listen to these people voluntarily renounce allegiance to their previous government was as I just wrote, humbling. I think every high school civics or government class could include a reading of this oath. Having taken the military oath a few times I noted the similarities and differences. The one striking similarity that I noticed that both have the oath taker protecting The Constitution of the United States against all enemies both foreign and domestic.

Of course, this was a nice set up for First Lady Trump who herself has taken the Oath of Citizenship. For her speech I only have a couple of words and that she is a smart lady and one has to respect her journey based on her own merits at a minimum if nothing else.

Kentucky Attorney General Cameron rocked. He came across as poised, self-confident, intelligent and a politician. The last I would not consider a positive, however, the fact that his parents owned a coffee shop when he was young certainly helped to shape his outlook on life. In other words, I like his small business background and I hope he did not forget this in law school.

I noted after the conclusion of the RNC for the night Fox News had Chris Wallace speak last. What struck me is Chis Wallace’s talk about the president using the White House for a political convention and Secretary of State Pompeo being the first Secretary of State to speak at a convention. Ok, by themselves these are good points and should raise an eyebrow and Mr. Wallace did after pointing this out. However, let us take these comments into context. First, these are the first pandemic conventions with social distancing requirements and all the fear that comes along with a pandemic. Second, let us not forget all the other precedents that have been broken by the Democrats going back to President Roosevelt breaking through the two term limit and recently the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI against a political foe, and the completely partisan impeachment. Mr. Fox give me a break and I have to wonder why Fox gave Juan Williams and Chris Wallace the last word amongst pundits?

Ok, my mind took a dark turn this morning thinking about the possibility of a contested election as Hillary Clinton seems to be calling for. What if this goes on and the UN decides they need to send in “peace keeping” forces? Could this be the end game? No no no, the globalist elites would never endorse such a thing. Yes, there may have been some sarcasm dripping from the last sentence and yes, I agree it is far fetched but if I am thinking about it I have to believe someone else could be thinking about it.

Lastly, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The riots took a dark turn last night and not necessarily for the good. I see this afternoon that a young 17 year old has been arrested but I will not rush to judgement. I see the governor and others are now calling for an end to the violence and more National Guard is being called in. My first reaction is to say to the governor why did you wait for people to be killed? You had to know the way it was going to play out considering all that has happened this summer since the George Floyd death.

Quite honestly, I was beginning to wonder how long it was going to take before something like last night happened. When business owners, who are tax paying citizens, cannot expect or trust their government to protect their businesses there is going to come a point when the businesses owners are going to protect their businesses with or without the government. Governor Evers, and the other governors out there, can you blame the formation of groups like The Boogaloos from occurring? Remember the businesses pay taxes and license fees and provide employment. When you deliberately do not allow the police to do their jobs nor do you allow others to help people will be forced to take matters into their own hands or be destroyed. This is not a good thing because what this means is that people have lost faith in your government. This is dangerous and can lead to much pain and heartache. Quite honestly, the responsibility rests on the current batch of local elected leaders in my opinion. Elected leaders who seem unqualified, cynical, corrupt and or generally unsuited for their jobs.

Ok, I will admit I watched much of the Republican Convention coverage last night. It was absolutely refreshing to listen to the positivity instead the constant anti-Trump drumbeat. Despite the fact that Herschel Walker played for the dreaded Cowboys (I say that with tongue in cheek) I really liked what he had to say. Andrew Pollack, there are no words that can convey what he must have and continues to go through.

So, the Nielson ratings are out and evidently the viewership of the RNC is less than the DNC. Hmm, so the Nielson’s only poll for broadcast television? Talk about another irrelevant data collection organization. To the Nielson Management, “Did you get the memo that most conservatives no longer tune into broadcast media. This memo was probably sent more than eight years ago.” Leave it to the media, however, to use the Nielson’s as a source. If I were an advertising executive and I was supposed to design a marketing campaign solely around the Nielson ratings I would think that I would be summarily fired and banned from my profession. But then again, I am not an advertising executive. Let us not forget the Progressive Media Propaganda Networks also changed their coverage times for the RNC also. Just more noise to distort the facts. Blah blah blah

Wow! I just learned that Speaker Pelosi is from Baltimore and that her brother and father were Democratic mayors of Baltimore at one time going back to 1947.

Speaking of Speaker Pelosi does it ring hollow to anyone else that she is lecturing us all on how President Trump is a threat to the Constitution?

Oh yes, which reminds me, I loved how some of the speakers last night called out California and its failures under one party, Democratic Party, rule. Let us remember the Summer of Love movement that has, over time, morphed into the Summer of Hate movement began in San Francisco, Mrs. Pelosi’s hometown.

Speaking of ANTIFA, has anyone put together that Portland, Oregon metropolitan area is the home to Nike? Does anyone else find it interesting that the company who panders to Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter is one of the wealthiest companies in Portland? I wonder if ANTIFA has rioted near the multi billion dollar company’s headquarters? I wonder how quickly the police and national guard would be called if that happened? I wonder if Google, Facebook, or Netflix have any operations in the Portland area? Too many questions and not enough answers.

Fifty three years ago the Summer of Love happened in San Francisco in which, apparently, the media fawned over the hippies and their “counterculture” movement. Now, fifty three years later with some of those same hippies and their acolytes fully ensconced in power it appears the counterculture movement has morphed. Now they organize and support the Summer of Hate counterculture movement.

I read a great sign the other day and it said, “Do not question authority, they do not know the answer either.”

I wonder how much money from international donors goes to finance domestic political campaigns.

To the General and Flag officers of the US military. Please do not allow the COVID vaccine to be tested on the members of the military. Remember the junior members of the military are in your charge.

I watched a shingles vaccine commercial the other day and all of the actors were elderly. Then it suddenly dawned upon me that the COVID response is a Baby Boom Generation response. I say this because the Baby Boom generation essentially is the generation in charge of government at the present time. Judging by history this is one of the most selfish generations ever in the United States and now, when faced with their own mortality, what do they do and support? It appears to me that a lot of the fear that is currently being peddled is being directed at the elderly and for good reason considering the elderly are most likely to be killed or experience long term effects from the virus. But shut down the whole nation and its economy? Like everything else the Baby Boomers will leave a wide wake behind them as they depart. Their mantra seems to be if I cannot have fun then you cannot have fun!

What is up with Justice Roberts siding with allowing the State of Nevada to keep churches closed? What happened to the separation of church and state and First Amendment Rights? I say church and state because the secular progressive dogma has infiltrated the state, evidently.

I heard a couple of weeks ago that Mayor DeBlasio of New York City is putting up COVID check points going into the city. It really does not bother be because why would I want to visit that s&*t hole?

I read something else somewhere that the Silicon Valley FANGS are scrubbing data from their websites. In particular, any data supporting conservative principals or counter to the progressive Marxist agenda. George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty Four’s dystopia is knocking on our door!

I wonder what would happen if I showed up in Portland with a wheelbarrow full of Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto and started burning them? I wonder if the response would be the same as if I showed up with a wheelbarrow full of Holy Bibles?

If you read a post I made several weeks ago I mentioned that I wrote my state representative and state senator regarding my misgivings and a request that the legislative branch of my state government restrict what I believe to be a gross overreach of executive power with the COVID crisis. I mentioned that I would give them some time to get back understanding that they have no staff to my knowledge. Both these gentlemen are Republicans and as of today I have heard nothing back from them and it has now been more than a month.

Now, in the last week my states chapter of the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) canceled its annual fund raiser due to restrictions placed on it by my state’s governor. Of course, the chapter asked for ticket holders to consider donating our tickets which I did. However, I did send a note to the organization again expressing my discomfort with the overreach of the state’s executive asking if they or if the organization new of anyone who was challenging this overreach? I just sent this yesterday and to no surprise I have heard nothing. I will give them a couple of weeks as well to respond. However, maybe I will need to give them a couple of months if they are anything like the state legislators who represent the district in which I reside.

Violence continues to rage in many of the nation’s largest cities. I just watched Netflix’s Fear City which chronicled New York City during the 70’s and 80’s in which the Cosa Nostra reigned supreme and the FBI and Justice Department’s subsequent application of the RICO Statutes to significantly reign in The Mob’s power and influence. I could not help listening to and observing the scenes of violence, fear and influence of the mob in all facets of New York life and not draw a parallel to what is happening today in New York and many of the nation’s other large cities. The parallels being the cities having democratically run administrations, the police being hamstrung by the city administrations, and violence a daily if not hourly occurrence to name a few. On top of that small few shadowy individuals seem to organize and pull the strings of much of the cities industries, government, and institutions. The FBI was able to use the RICO Statutes to bring this thugs and criminals down. A difference this time is I wonder how high the RICO Statutes could be exercised in the current nationwide crises? I wonder if the lawlessness and violence could be organized at high levels in the government and corporate leadership? Could this be applied even into the billionaire’s club in tech and hedge fund management?

Speaking of hedge fund managers and tech billionaires. I shake my head that the individuals who made billions in the free markets of the west actively support the progressives in the United States. Like the Robber Barons of the late nineteenth century they seem to want to use the government to change the rules. They seem to want a somewhat if not outright fascistic government that they control to change the rules in order to squash and suppress any competition that could rise up against them. My opinion is these leaders are really nothing more than petty dictators who believe in arbitrarily changing the rules of governance in order to support their dominance in their industries of dominance. I believe they are selfish, self-serving despots intent on doing whatever it takes to quash and keep us serfs in line.

I would hope that Senator Lee and others in Congress would take a good hard look at the FANGS. I ask why they are getting special considerations when the FANGS really are abusing the privilege. They really are not supportive of nor willing to compete in the free and open marketplaces of products and ideas. Equal application of the law please. Interesting that Shepard Smith is now working for CNBC overtly. I laugh because I remember his outright indignation and surprise when President Trump won the 2016 election. At least now he is where he should be which is in a place full of progressive propagandists. I wonder how long it will take before Chris Wallace joins him?

I have thought some more about a tack that Republicans could take everywhere in this coming election. I stated this train of thought thinking about my state’s legislative races that will be occurring in the fall. To me there is plenty of reason that there currently is no legislative check upon our Democratic governor who continually opens and shuts businesses down based on what is increasing faulty data regarding the coronavirus, increased taxes, more onerous gun regulations and etc. But that seems too complicated and perhaps the simplest question to ask or advertise from now until the elections is something to the effect of, “A vote for any Democrat this election is a vote to allow our (insert one or more of the following) city, country, state, country to become like San Francisco, Seattle, New York, or Chicago.” It is simple and can be backed up with facts and video. President Trump has already started this campaign, but I question if my local Republican politicians will have the brass to do the same. Again, it is simple, A vote for any Democrat is a vote for San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, and etc. My goodness there is so much fodder for the Republicans it just amazes me that they are not using it. Where are the leaders?!?!?

I will say that I recently read an op-ed written by former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt to a local newspaper in Nevada. It, to me, was a well written and very public opinion supporting the Constitution and American Values. I say to Mr. Laxalt thank you for using your clout to express a truly conservative opinion. Now, I ask, where is the rest of the Republican leadership?

Speaking of which I wrote a letter to the two members of my state’s legislature over a week ago who are both Republican. I have to say I am a bit disappointed as I have heard back from neither one of them. When I wrote my Governor, who happens to be Democrat, I heard back within two days. Perhaps the Governor has a larger staff which is for at least another week I will give the legislators the benefit of the doubt.

Speaking of my state governor. This person is rolling back the coronavirus restrictions because of the upsurge in cases. However, I still fail to see the data to support it. Sure, the number of cases is increasing but the percentage of hospitalizations to number of new cases is falling. I truly believe this is political maneuvering now. Shut the bars down so people will not talk, shut the schools down so mothers will not talk, shut large venues down so the President and others cannot hold rallies and the list goes on. Oh well, I think I am going to brush up on my self defense skills. Something tells me these maybe coming in handy in the near future.

Random Musings 7.8.20

Dr. Scott Gotlieb lecturing us about how schools should not be opened? I am sure he is one of those who believe the economy should not open until an immunization has been developed and approved. I find it interesting that he sits on the board of Pfizer. I wonder if he was an intern under Dr. Fauci at some time?

Portland based Nike is a tool of the Chinese Communist Party! I also wonder if there is any coincidence how left the government of Portland has drifted and continues to drift. A city that highways can be shut down in the name of a Marxist movement and the fact Nike is based there. Evidently, the only commerce that Nike cares about is their own and does not give a rip about truckers, mom and pop businesses, nor the small businesses affected by the Marxist riots.

Does anyone else find it troubling that there are reports of institutionalized anti-Semitism in the Black Lives Marxist Movement? Although, why should anyone be surprised considering that the Bolshevik Revolution and other Marxist movements do not tolerate anything but 100% submission to their so called mores and values.

I was happy to see that Secretary Pompeo is calling out Tik Tok for the Chinese Virus (the Chinese Virus part of the that statement is my own name not the Secretary’s) that it truly is. I truly support and home that President Trump shuts Tik Tok and any other CCP Controlled app out there down.

I wish I could remember where I heard this idea from because they deserve credit for a great idea. Specifically, they suggested that for any politician who calls for a reduction in the police that at the same time we demand their security detail be reduced. I am going to try and remember this as I listed to my local politicians.
